We should compile a list of games this method works on, clearly it doesn't work on just any title. Obviously first game to add is SMO to the list.
So I guess I'll start then
Working titles:

• Super Mario Oddysey
• Fallout Shelter
• Xenoblade 2
• Fortnite (?)
• Pokemon Quest

hactool.exe NAMEOFNCA.nca -k NAMEOFKEYFILE --romfs=romfs.bin --exefsdir=exefs

 

[PEKKA4597]

I can't get my game to extract properly. I'm using an xci and every time I use hactool to extract the nca it says section 0 and section 1 are corrupted. Any help?

Call the CEO of Nintendo and maybe he will talk about that

open a command prompt in hactool folder, place the file in the folder too (.nca, extracted from the .xci)
extract .xci: hactool.exe -t xci -x --outdir="your directory"
to extract romfs and exefs: hactool.exe -t nca -x --romfs=romfs.bin --exefsdir=exefs --keys=keys.txt file.nca

 

[Deleted User]

somebody should add that this works only on firmware 5.1.0 and not on 3.0 or lower

Switch backup loading is here: [prebreak]1[/prebreak]

1) Get a title id of any game you have installed from http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list/Games (this is your target titleid)
2) Create a directory on SD : sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*
3) use hactool to extract the romfs.bin and exefs files from your main nca from the game you want to run instead of your target (its in secure from XCI - the biggest one)
4) put romfs.bin in sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/romfs.bin, exefs files into sd:/atmosphere/titles/*target_titleid*/exefs/
5) Edit titleid in main.npdm (in exefs) to contain target title id (this might help http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=NPDM)
6) run a fs_mitm containing CFW release, run your target app (https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-get-layeredfs-working.507460/)

Note that saves don't work for me atm, you should wait for mememenu/similar.
Minecraft works, others not tested.

How do I do step 3? What? When I run Hactool it closes instantly. I don't understand it.
